  • RS2 airbox lid

    Slim chance I know, but anyone got one?
    Mine is ****ed, the two MAF mounting bolts are rusted onto the captive nuts, which are now spinning in the plastic

    Will settle for ABY lid if not.

    Cheers

        Yes please, ABY lid will be fine, I was just chancing my luck, if you don't as you don't get


        Andy, yeah you can have the airbox lid - you will find it looks just an ABY lid though

          Well it shouldn't ! the RS2 airbox top is deeper than the aby.

            ADU lid is better than ABY, raised area below the maf in the picture allows more airflow through the filter.

            If I can still have it just let me know how much you want.

              Just get the bolts out by any means. Use mole grips if necessary.

              Then repair it with fibreglass and helicoils.

                Yes I know the RS2 & ABY are different! My point was I asked for an RS2 lid, but I didn't say I already had one

                I'm sure I can maul the bolt out, but ideally I can replace it with an RS2 one, should one be available... if not ABY will do fine

                    Yarp, but I can pretty much do that with a handheld miniature drill as wielded by that crazy dingo on the red 3B

                          Ok, nevermind.

                          I just cut mine out to size and used an ebay bass port.

                            The RS2 box is basically about the same size but it's split and inch or so lower down so that the filter sits lower in it and flows better, this means that if you were to fit the top of the RS2 box to the bottom of the S2 box then the bonnet wouldn't close.

                              Good info, I thought you could use an RS2 lid on an ABY body
